I am trying to work through a little problem with my van. I am hoping
some on the DIY-EFI list might help. I have a 83 Dodge Van I which I
have installed an A518 Transmission (the big dodge OD automatic).
When I installed the unit I discussed the lockup with a Mechanic who
indicated that it would not hurt the trans to leave the TQ "unlocked up".
I have since found from a transmission specialist that this is not true of
this transmission.
I can use a manual lockup switch, but since my wife drives the vehicle
also and does not want to bother with details I need a more automated
method. Is anyone aware of a dedicated lockup controller (not part of a
complete Engine management system).
It appears from the the Jeff Hartman bookd that I could use a DFI
controller and convert the vehicle to a complete system, At the moment I
am not prepared to invest in the complete EFI system (unless I could get
a DFI controller very inexpensively).
The other question is about EFI throttle bodies that match WEBER 45MM
DCOE pattern. Are there any production vehicles that use a compatible
throttle body, or is there a supplier that sells a such a beast. I have seen
some pictured in Hartman's book, but the supplier was'nt clear to me.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Tom Leake
